I suppose he now has to put a strong team out for the cup game.

Early round League Cup games against Premier League opposition are difficult to predict. How much importance do the managers place on the game and, thus, team selection?

BRO_BOT 7th :?


With no European football and already out of the League Cup being a great advantage when it comes to the final League positions I wonder if you fancy a small bet on who finishes highest come the end of the season out of the 2 Northern Giants?

Say an even £100?

I know the gap to Hearts is now 8 points but seems a bit early to throw in the towel by Rogers there.

Dermot Desmond's statement from the club regarding his departure basically says "Fcuk off, you arrogant pcunt".

Unfortunately, his conduct and communication in recent months have not reflected that trust


Every player signed and every player sold during his tenure was done so with Brendan’s full knowledge, approval, and endorsement. Any insinuation otherwise is absolutely false
.

Despite ample opportunity, he was unable to identify a single instance where the club had obstructed or failed to support him. The facts did not match his public narrative.


Regrettably, his words and actions since then have been divisive, misleading, and self-serving. They have contributed to a toxic atmosphere around the club and fuelled hostility towards members of the executive team and the Board


What has failed recently was not due to our structure or model, but to one individual’s desire for self-preservation at the expense of others.


Ange favourite to return.

Must say Ange has played a blinder if he goes back.

Two big payouts and then just goes back to the job he had.

Imagine that its SJM reading those quotes out about Brenda's failings; they are - almost uncannily - the exact same issues SJM had about the guy all those Years ago.

Despite pretty much unparalleled success,Rodgers was not universally liked by the fans.

Having said that, Dermot Desmond is a bit of a prick and I wouldn't be surprised if Rodgers flounced after a clash of egos. Again, not entirely uncharted territory for Rodgers
